I agree with the foss alternatives part. FreeCAD isn’t great, but I’ve been loving ondsel lately which is a fork that improves the interface and even sends some pull requests to the upstream. 😊
lambda is the time window over which a process is observed for determining the working memory set for a digital computer’s virtual memory management.

Even then, the shaders for steam deck wouldn’t work on other devices with different GPU architecture. I think it might require the same CPU architure as well. But, I’m not confident on the second part.
True, but complex and probably a tad unrealistic. My old days of using torrents taught me that people don’t typically seed.
Ignoring that, if you automatically download torrents and start seeding them many people wouldn’t understand them and will have their internet overwhelmed and blame Linux, or Google it and come to the conclusion to “turn off the seeding feature”.
Also, Shader Caches get changed/updated CONSTANTLY. When I first got my Steam Deck, I was getting Shader Caches updates every time I turned it on for nearly every game. That has slowed down a lot but torrents specifically wouldn’t be the best solution for something that changes frequently. You can re-check so that you can just only download new caches with the latest torrent. But the re-check can be computationally expensive as well.
Idk the answer and I love the idea of P2P. But, we’d have to be careful to implement it well.
A program will not fix it. The problem is shader caches need to be stored. Storage costs money. Who is going to pay to store all of them?
Maybe it could be like a P2P system but that would add a whole lot of complexity!
Yeah. Good point. The problem I see with that is that SOMEONE has to store the shader caches that you download. With some games, it’s megabytes and some games it’s gigabytes. Also, the shaders are different for different hardware configurations. Who is going to not only store, but share all of this data when only a small portion of people donate to FOSS? Steam, gets a portion of the sale, and moving people to Linux is a far sight goal that they are monetarily incentivized to help towards.
Yes, I subscribe to a few on Open Collective.
Source for this person being transphobic? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I just don’t know where this is coming from…
Even on Steam Deck itself?
